Mayor Rob Ford misses his ‘Cut the Waist’ goal

Mayor Rob Fords weight-loss challenge, launched with fanfare and smiles Jan. 17, ended Monday with a grim-faced mayor missing his goal by 33 pounds and then falling off the scale.

Fords ankle appeared to buckle as he stepped down after weighing in at 313 pounds. He yelled Ow! and fell heavily on his brother, Councillor Doug Ford, in front of TV cameras outside his city hall office.

It hurts really bad, the mayor later told reporters before limping back into his office. I dont know what happened but I twisted it pretty good.

Doug Ford dreamed up Cut the Waist, a 50-pounds-in-five-months challenge, and convinced his 330-pound little brother to participate. There is a website urging others to lose weight and pledge money for charity, an official logo and an oversized scale from their label company.

Enoughs enough, the mayor said in January. Its the heaviest Ive ever been . . . Ive got young children, and this is not healthy.

He enjoyed quick success, eating like a rabbit and avoiding ice cream. He was photographed running lonely laps on a high school track.

Pounds also vanished from Doug Fords 275-pound frame, thanks to daily exercise and diet changes that curbed a serious chocolate milk habit.
